answer:I felt very strongly about raising my daughter during her formative years. Time has always trumped money for me. I was a mom at home until my daughter was 11 when I returned to work part time, 25 hours a week. I worked 9–2 so it was perfect, I still was available before and after school and felt no guilt. I strongly believe in creating a situation that allows at least one parent to be as available as needed during the formative years. I support the 20/20 plan. I have always thought that working a 6 hour day is more than enough, but, obviously unrealistic for most. I have made mention elsewhere here that I think that what it takes to survive in our ‘modern’ world is extremely detrimental to relationships of all kinds, especially for children. Sure, we all need to maintain a decent living standard but, kids want their parents TIME, not another X-box. I made plenty of sacrifices to be a mom in the home during those years but, I wouldn’t change a thing and am proud I was able to really be there to raise my child.
